Needless to say, all the recent touchscreen mobile phones that have been dubbed as possible "iPhone killers" have not lived up to their moniker. And after reading a review of the Nokia 5800 XPressMusic by mocoNews.net, it appears it will stay that way for a while.But, that doesn't mean that this latest phone isn't good. Just looking at the specs on paper, it seems quite solid.
Music is its focus and Nokia spared no expense:
- 8-band graphic equalizer
- Dedicated music keys in the headset control unit
- Stereo FM radio (with wired headset)
- Standard 3.5" headphone jack
- Integrated stereo speakers with surround sound (I have no idea how they're going to pull this one off)
- 3D stereo ringtones
The rest of the multimedia features easily defeats the iPhone:
- 3.2 megapixel camera (2048 x 1536 pixels)
- Carl Zeiss optics
- 3x digital zoom for camera/4x digital zoom for video recorder
- Autofocus
- Dual LED flash
- Flash modes: On, off, automatic, red-eye reduction
- Photo editor on device
- Video recording at up to 640 x 480 pixels and up to 30 fps
Other features the stock iPhone doesn't have:
- MMS
- 640 x 360 pixels (verus iPhone's 480 x 320 pixels)
- Expandable memory slot
- Bluetooth A2DP
- Voice Dialing
I will certainly check out the Nokia 5800 when it is released.
